I have worked with Joanne Howe on a number of strategic and operational HR projects which have all been extremely well delivered. As a business owner I have complete peace of mind that Joanne offers objective advice on my complex HR issues. She works to protect my business from HR risks and has developed a sound HR strategy to assist the growth of PRS. As my independent HR Business Partner Joanne is able to assess what’s right for the business and always communicates in a highly motivated and effective manner.
Joanne Howe has worked with Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums on a number of complex strategic and operational HR projects. She has brought to the management team a “business savvy” approach to resolving people issues. She is financially astute and very customer focussed. She has a natural ability to coach and mentor Senior Managers and is incredibly positive. Joanne easily sees the bigger picture and is passionate about achieving success.
We’ve worked with Howe Consultancy for over 5 years, initially as our HR Business Partner and more recently as our Business Improvement Consultant. Joanne’s insight has been invaluable and her objective approach supports the business in quality improvements around process and procedures, especially through change management and getting ready for inspection.
Joanne has a wealth of knowledge on how to get the best out of your workforce. She’s a great listener and looks to develop strategies and practices to meet each individual businesses needs
Your no-nonsense approach has allowed us to manage as well as learn from you as to what is expected from a manager and I have seen a huge improvement in her ability, aptitude and enthusiasm from each visit you make to Jammy Dodger Towers.
With the help of Howe Consultancy, DNA now have our first employees outside of the family which runs the business. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Joanne and leaning on her (heavily!) for help with our HR processes in future.
